Kidney stones are solid accumulations of material that form in the tubal system of the kidney. Kidney stones cause problems when they block the flow of urine through or out of the kidney. When the stones move along the ureter, they cause severe pain. It is termed as one of the most ailments worldwide.



It has been seen that a healthy kidney is usually able to eliminate almost any chemical not needed by the body, provided one takes enough water and other fluids. When people take too little water, the urine becomes concentrated and this is in turn may lead to chronic infections of the kidneys and bladder so keeping up fluids can cure kidney stones.

Hypnosis is a natural psychological process in which critical thinking faculties of the mind are bypassed and a type of selective thinking and perception is established. Hypnosis has been shown to be an effective tool for pain relief, and when combined adjunctively with other therapeutic techniques it has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool. There is no evidence that ‘incurable’ diseases are curable with hypnosis (such as cancer, diabetes, and arthritis), but pain and other body functions related to the diseases are controllable.

Hypnotherapy is often applied in order to modify a subject’s behaviour, emotional content and attitudes, as well as a wide range of conditions obesity, substance abuse, pain, ego, anxiety, stress, amnesia, phobias, and matters of performance. It may also be used to assist with functional disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Hypnosis has been seen highly benefical to let patient cope up with the pain in kidney stones and can cure it in intial stage but with taking other precautions like incerasing the intake of water or fluid etc. It is not stated that hyponosis can cure the kidney stones completely without taking any medicine etc. Hypnosis can be really helpful in coping up the pain in kidney stones but can not help them passing out of the body completely.

Hence, hypnosis is considered as an alternative therapy in case of kidney stones and is suggested to be undertaken by an expert hypontist who is skilled.
